/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 18 countries recognizing the Armenian Genocide is an
achievement of Armenian diplomacy, Secretary of the Security Council at the
Armenian President Serge Sargsian told journalists today. In his opinion,
Turkey will not be admitted to the European Union without acknowledgement of
the Armenian Genocide, as a range of European countries have recognized and
censured the Armenian Genocide. `Finally, Turkey should itself ponder over
it.’ S. Sargsian stated. It should be reminded that the Parliament of 15
countries have acknowledged the Armenian Genocide. The Genocide is
considered a fact and is censured by a number of UN and PACE commissions, as
well as 32 out of the 50 US states. 19 April 2005 the Polish Sejm
acknowledged the fact of the commitment of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
Turkey. At present a similar document is under consideration by the German
Bundestag.
